Michelle Obama in her Own Words.

"I admit: I am louder

than the average human being 

and have no fear of speaking my mind. 

These traits don't come 

from the color of my skin but 

from an unwavering belief in 

my own intelligence."

- Michelle Obama.

A Story of Hope.

Michelle Obama Finally Responds to Someone Asking Her to Run for President.

When Donald Trump was elected the next President of the United States last week, many already started looking ahead to the following election, with a certain candidate in mind: Michelle Obama. #Michelle2020 became a trending hash tag as hopeful citizens tweeted their wishes to see the current First Lady run in four years.

One good thing will come of this...in four years time Michelle Obama will be the first black female POTUS. Start visualizing now peeps! — Magda Szubanski (@MagdaSzubanski) November 9, 2016

I'm going into hibernation until 2020 when @MichelleObama is hopefully president and Donald Trump has fake tanned himself into oblivion—Niki Albon ˊˎ˗ (@NikiAlbon) November 9, 2016

But what does the First Lady herself think of the idea? Would she entertain the possibility of going from FLOTUS to POTUS? 

Today, as she addressed Veterans' homelessness in the White House, someone in the audience yelled to her, "Run for president!" She responded with a hearty laugh and said, "You be quiet back there," with a point of the finger before breaking into a chuckle. So maybe she shot down the idea of joining the 2020 presidential race for now—but she's still got a couple years to change her mind.

Without Education, You Are Not Cool.

“The people we admire in our society today are athletes, singers, reality stars. You don’t see teachers, doctors and lawyers revered in the same way. So naturally, kids gravitate to what they think is cool. But one of the things I've tried to tell my kids is that there is nothing cooler than a good education. Education is going to open the doors to the opportunities that are going to give you the freedom later on in life to make really cool choices--like having a good job, being able to own a home, being able to take vacations and travel the world. That’s what being cool is all about.” – Michelle Obama.   

Michelle Obama’s Tribute to Maya Angelou.

The first time I read "Phenomenal Woman" I was struck by how she celebrated black women's beauty like no one had ever dared to before. Our curves, our stride, our strength, our grace.

Her words were clever and sassy. They were powerful and sexual and boastful. And in that one singular poem, Maya Angelou spoke to the essence of black women, but she also graced us with an anthem for all women, a call for all of us to embrace our God-given beauty.

And oh, how desperately black girls needed that message. I needed that message. As a child, my first doll was Malibu Barbie -- that was the standard for perfection. That was what the world told me to aspire to.

But then I discovered Maya Angelou, and her words lifted me right out of my own little head. Her message was very simple. She told us that our worth has nothing to do with what the world might say. Instead, she said each of us comes from the creator trailing wisps of glory. She reminded us that we must each find our own voice, decide our own value, and then announce it to the world with all the pride and joy that is our birthright as members of the human race.

Dr. Angelou's words sustained me on every step of my journey. Through lonely moments in ivy-covered classrooms and colorless skyscrapers, through blissful moments mothering two splendid baby girls, through long years on the campaign trail where at times my very womanhood was dissected and questioned. For me, that was the power of Maya Angelou's words. Words so powerful that they carried a little black girl from the south side of Chicago all the way to the White House.
